"When people ask me where I’m from, the first thing I say is “HARLEM” – loud and very boastfully. It means pride. It means feeling good about being Black. It means being cool to be Black."
Harlem Parade, inspired by Beyonce's “Black Parade” single and business directory (curated by Zerina Akers’ “Black Owned Everything”), is a celebratory platform that spotlights the rich, Black, cultural legacy and diverse commerce of Harlem. It is a platform that focuses on art, business, and entrepreneurship, which are paramount to the Black American experience.
